Madison Rambles History Again

Hello, everyone! Here's a post shortly after my last post because I was late on that post. I think this is the first time this has ever happened. And we're talking about China yet again! We're also talking about Japan, a country that I want to go to someday. コロナウイルスだから、私に日本に行かせてくれません。悲しいですね... (Because of the Coronavirus, [the government] won't let me go to Japan. Sad, isn't it?) So let's answer the questions! This is Chapter 19 , by the way. 1. What accounts for the massive peasant rebellions of 19th century China? When the population of China grows too much for China to handle, not everyone can get fed. The Chinese government cannot handle the large amount of people, so rebellions happen. Also, China could not cannot communicate with all of the different parts of the country, so corruption was bound to happen. Peasants started to be treated poorly, and taxpayers were harassed. I wouldn't be surprised if parts of China were basically anarchy, ...

Hello, everyone! Sorry I'm late. I had to recover from the shock of some bad news. To make up for this, I will do my next couple of blog posts as fast as possible. I want to get all future blog posts done on time, so I will do the readings on time from now on. This is Chapter 18 , but I will be answering the questions on my assignment. Let's do this! 2. The 19th century chart titled “European Racial Images” on page 791 depicting the so-called “Progressive Development of Man” from apes to modern Europeans, reflected the racial categories that were so prominent at the time. It also highlights the influence of Darwin’s evolutionary ideas as they were [erroneously] applied to varieties of human beings. Discuss. Oh, that chart. I won't be showing that picture, but I'm just going to say why that is wrong. First of all, races aren't a sign of evolution. They're a sign of biological adaptations based on the environment . Those with darker skin have more mela...

Hello, everyone! I don't need to explain the current situation right now, but I will say that because of it, we have all been stuck inside. I was able to go outside and draw chalk on the ground (it's to help other people cope with the situation), but I am not able to go to college. It's hard doing online classes, especially when there are distractions all over the house. But answering these questions can help ease this situation at least a little bit for me and my readers. Here are the three questions I chose to answer: 3) What was distinctive about Britain that may help explain its status as the breakthrough point of the Industrial Revolution? Britain conquered everyone, learned from other cultures, and grew from the Black Death. That sounds like a thesis statement, and that's because someone could write an entire essay on this. Multiple factors contributed to Britain leading the Industrial Revolution. After the Act of Union, Britain decided to conquer par...

Hello, everyone! Currently, it's midterm season, which means I'm really tired. I have essays and assignments due either tomorrow or Tuesday, and it's chaotic right now. Since I get back home at around 6:30 tomorrow, I'm getting as much work done as possible today. I'm really tired... But I'm not the only one that did a lot of work. Britain did, too! They had the Industrial Revolution, which meant that they changed the world for the best and worst. Humanity loved it, but the environment hated it. This is Chapter 17 . After Britain conquered tons of land, they had access to many resources. Most likely because of that, they decided to invent methods to mass produce everything. That is what led to the Industrial Revolution. The book sometimes wonders why the Industrial Revolution started in Britain rather than other places. I feel that is somewhat of a dumb question. This was after Britain conquered countries like India, went through a Scientific Revoluti...
